Artistic licence or not they were real RPG's and bullets whizzing over his head.
Rather him than me!

First series was stunning, second series looks to be fantastic too.

Hats off to Ross Kemp, the man has *****, and the shows that he does are real eye openers. Its shows like this that make us realise what is REALLY going on out there.

It was bad, and sad to see that a Taliban member caught in a strong hold with kick back bruises on his shoulder covered in ballistic evidence cant be convicted. They must have the same magistrates we have in Surrey

Thinking about all the money the army get i was fairly surprised to see them flying the UAV with a xbox 360 controller in last nights.

I was in Helmand with 16 AA Bde the same time as Ross, I was in and around Gereshk and Upper Gereshk Valley. He stayed in Musa-e-Qaleh for his entire duration and IIRC he suffered with D&V for pretty much his entire visit.

From first hand experience I can assure you its like that all over the province, there is no front line as such. Helmand Province is the front line, its just that the Green Zone is where it's pretty much guaranteed.

I take my hat off to Ross for what he's doing, I was fully tooled up whenever I was out and I still felt a mixture of anxiety / andrenaline wherever I went.

Another awesome episode. The men and women that get in the mix, risk there lives end up skinny, tiered, D&V, cold weather ration packs in 100 degree heat.
I turn over and....

Posh boy bankers complaining about not getting 6 figure bonuses for throwing away our money.

Its not what your worth its what you can get, Sorry for going off topic.
This is a great series. Hats off to the kemp.
